🐔Common Pheasant

Phasianus colchicus Linnaeus, 1758

A fácán (Phasianus colchicus) a madarak (Aves) osztályának tyúkalakúak (Galliformes) rendjébe, ezen belül a fácánfélék (Phasianidae) családjába tartozó faj. A fácán hímjét kakasnak, nőstényét tyúknak, fiataljait csirkéknek nevezzük. A nőivarú fiatalok a jércék. A Phasianus nem a grúziai Rioni (ókori görög nevén: Phászisz) folyóról nyerte elnevezését, a fajnévben szereplő colchicus jelző pedig Kolkhisz vidékére utal, amely szintén a Kaukázus környékén található, és amely a fácán eredeti elterjedési területének nyugati végpontja volt.
